What is the first step in the treatment phase of odor removal?

The first step in the treatment phase of odor removal is conducting a preliminary detoxification spray. This initial process is crucial because it serves to neutralize and eliminate both surface and airborne odors effectively. By using a detoxification spray, you can begin to address the source of the odor before applying additional treatments. This step helps to reduce the overall odor load, making subsequent steps more effective.

Additionally, performing vacuuming or other odor control methods without prior detoxification may not achieve significant results, as the underlying cause of the odor may still persist. By establishing a clean starting point through the detoxification spray, the odor control technician sets the stage for further treatments such as fogging or application of counteractants, which can then work more efficiently.
